Answer:
6 C O 2 + 6 H 2 O + Δ → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2
Explanation:
The Δ symbol denotes added energy, here in the form of sunlight. Strong C = O , and O − H bonds have been broken, and this bond cleavage is only partially energetically compensated by the formation of C − H and O = O bonds. Hence the reaction is endothermic (energy input on LHS). Note that the reaction is balanced with respect to mass and charge (says he, checking to see whether it is indeed balanced!).
